Meopham Hay Field by Shayne Mcgirr

Nice - I particularly like the way you've dealt with the different lighting on the bails. The subject and format (not so much the execution) is very Chris Geal.. whose work I admire.... www.chrisgeall.com (I think). I do like the wide angle lens look into the sun... did you do this from one photo or did you build a panoramic? Finally - how big is it?

Love the format and your composition. Fabulous lighting and sky!

Thanks Ade, The painting is 8" x 22" on primed MDF. I sacraficed a lot of foreground from one photo to get this panoramic view and give a 'big' sky. This was the first time of using MDF board as a support (instead of canvas) and have been converted. You have no limits to size and shape! P.S looked at Chris Gealls site and was very impressed by his work - thanks for the tip.

That sky is just superb! And the format really does add to the drama. The sky is everchanging but you have managed to capture a particular moment in time.

I always want to paint interesting skies but have not quite got it yet. You on the other hand have a talent for all sorts of subjects ! Your sky is wonderful !!
